Re: south beach

[Guest guest]

Colleen and Jeanine- I started the South Beach diet three days ago. I think

it's not really that hard. (I did something similar 1-1/2 years ago and lost

25#) I feel satisfied, and the cravings do vanish. I've lost 3 lbs since

Tues.

Thanks Jeanine & Carol! Everyone that's emailed me said they lost an

average of 20lbs. in the first month. That's what I want to get rid of.

No Carol, the cravings have gone away easy for you in the first 3

days. Are you a sugar addict though? LOL! I live for candy & ice

cream, that's my main food group! is going to do the diet with

me too.

It should be ok, if the guild lines fall in the BFL ratio's such as a fist size

of protein, fist size of carbs, and some veggies. If there are any sauces, they

are probably low in carbs, but watch your calories. Especially since on BFL you

eat 6 times a day. I don't know about SB, but the calories could be higher on

the meals, you may need to cut them in half. But, I see it being a problem.

South Beach is very close to BFL, so is The Zone. Most recipes from

those two programs will work. Just keep in mind that not all of the

recipes are for complete meals. Sometimes they include recipes for

desserts or salads or side dishes. They're healthy authorized foods

but it's up to you to balance them with the right protein or carbs for

BFL. You also need to keep an eye on the portion sizes.

I liked the SBD. If I remember correctly, it had a lot of meat, fish and stuff

rolled in lettuce

leaves. Yum.

I imagine you could combine the two. Just remove the avoids from the menus and

replace

with bennies or neutrals.

We all Know I am no expert on anything but It is funny, my mother has been

jamming south beach down my throat forever, and I told my husband just the other

day that I did not find too much difference other than the avoids!!! (bacon,

artificial sweetner, etc...) SouthBeach acutally reccomends leaner cuts of beef,

lots of veggies, no sugar,dairy, or breads unless whole wheat(which is an avoid

for us) but I think it is safe to say no, not much diff other than the avoids.

did u have weight loss success on south beach? most everyone I know has. I

wonder what Bill Clinton's blood type is. He did south beach lost alot of weight

and then had heart surgery I saw him the other day in our area (on the news) he

looked really ill....He was here because of hurricane Katrina. He looked weak

and tired.

LOL--that's stark enough. Avoiding the avoids and eating beneficials is what

the diet is all about.
